I think just scanning WiFi/LAN/Bluetooth for MAC addresses through their smart speakers would be a better indicator of disposable income.

Heck, if they already have access to your Amazon purchases and the Roomba model you own they probably have a good idea of your income bracket.

On top of that, Amazon knows your address... looking up your home value on Zillow (or whatever the enterprisey equivalent is) is going to be a better proxy than training vacuums to surreptitiously read 401k statemenrs
